Role models for our Next Generation of conservationists

    The PACE Careers in Conservation module shares the stories of people who have made successful careers in wildlife and nature conservation. Some started by chance, others planned carefully, some have university degrees, others are technicians who learned on the job - everyone has their own journey. Conservation provides an extraordinary and increasing range of job and career opportunities, all across Africa.  We hope that by sharing success stories, we can inform and inspire our Next Generation of Conservationists.

Many people do not know how they can be involved in or how they could work in conservation.   The PACE Careers in Conservation module tries to address this by showing a wide range of employment and career roles that exist.

Successful conservation is as much about people as it is about wildlife. [...]

Education, teachers and trainers are the backbone of conservation. We depend on them: from language teachers explaining vocabulary; biology teachers explaining ecosystems, water and soil cycles; maths teachers providing the skills to understand statistics, to community educators helping rural communities protect their livestock and earn a living alongside wildlife.   Teachers in schools, colleges, urban and rural communities, in education centres and local councils are making a massive contribution to conservation across Africa. If you are making career choices and keen on [...]

Women in Conservation

"I finally met the famous Black Mambas Anti-poaching Unit!" When Palloma Pachiti, PACE Champion and expert educator in Zimbabwe kindly reviewed drafts of the new PACE educational materials earlier this year, she was excited to read about the Black Mambas from South Africa.  Palloma runs the Sebakwe Conservation and Education Centre in the Midlands of Zimbabwe.  What she read about the Black Mamba's work immediately inspired her to add new dimensions to her own projects with communities in Zimbabwe. We were [...]
